Answer : 4. "Both a and b sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Both a and b sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. x a. gives, S.I = Rs. 9000 and time = 9 years. b. gives, Sum + S.I for 6 years = 2 x Sum --> Sum = S.I for 6 years. Now, S.I for 9 years = Rs. 9000 S.I for 1 year = Rs. 9000/9 = Rs. 1000. S.I for 6 years = Rs. (1000 x 6)= Rs. 6000. --> x = Rs. 6000 Thus, both a and b are necessary to answer the question.

Answer : 3. "30 m/s"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 30 m/s Explanation: The interval between object pass the same point is 4 sec. That means in 2 sec, object reaches the top and in next 2 sec, it again reaches the same point. By the info given, we can find the velocity of that point by using : v=u+(-gt) 0= u - 10×2 u = 20 Then the velocity at 25m is 20m/sec. so the initial velocity is -v2 = u2 + (-2gh)400 = u2 - 2x 10 x 25u2 = 900 => u = 30 m/s
